[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jae-gil] Yoo Gi-sang, the governor of Gochang County, Jeonbuk, emphasized, "Mobilize all administrative power to block community transmission of the novel coronavirus."

According to Gochang County on the 4th, Governor Yoo said at the 'Vision Commitment Day' event held in the 5th-floor conference room of Gochang County Office the previous morning, attended by all county officials, "We will do our utmost to minimize the impact on residents' safety and the local economy until the novel coronavirus infection situation is resolved," adding, "We will maintain a 24-hour response system to calmly assess the current situation and devote all efforts to blocking the local spread of the novel coronavirus infection."

Earlier, on the 31st of last month, after a confirmed virus case occurred in Jeollabuk-do, the county decided to postpone the 'Sympathy Dialogue with Residents' and cancel the 'Ogeori Dangsanje' festival. Additionally, the existing infectious disease response team was expanded and elevated to a Disaster Safety Countermeasures Headquarters led by Governor Yoo Gi-sang, operating 24 hours a day.

Governor Yoo also instructed, "Strengthen the promotion of infectious disease prevention guidelines and quarantine activities, and promptly execute contingency funds to purchase quarantine and disinfection supplies."

The county installed screening clinics at the public health center and Gochang Hospital and has been closely monitoring the situation by promoting infectious disease prevention guidelines to residents via disaster text messages, ensuring thorough response measures.

Furthermore, emergency disinfection was conducted at the Gochang Public Bus Terminal and Gochang Traditional Market, which residents frequently use. Hand sanitizers were distributed to daycare centers, and rapid disinfection of other multi-use facilities is underway. Hand sanitizers will also be distributed to local senior centers mainly used by the elderly.

Governor Yoo stated, "Please ensure thorough measures to minimize residents' inconvenience by providing prior guidance from related departments when canceling or postponing events," and added, "I also ask all residents to refrain from gatherings such as social clubs and to strictly manage personal hygiene by washing hands and wearing masks."
